The next day Imogene was sitting on the sofa by Tosh's computer, her nose stuck in Tosh's copy of 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'. She's been a massive fan of the first two books when they came out and the third seemed just as good. Tosh and Owen were talking to Jack and Ianto brought them over a coffee. Imogene took her gaze away from the first encounter of a Dementor as the others thanked her brother.
"Do you want one?" Ianto asked smirking.
Imogene felt her stomach clench as she remembered what happened when they were twelve. "You think I've forgotten that? I was puking for a week after the last time you made me a coffee."
"Why what happened?" Tosh asked.
"I told this girl who we absolutely hated that Ianto liked her. We didn't know that she fancied him so when he rejected her politely; she gave him a black eye. So he got his own back by making me a coffee which had dog poo in it. He only told me after I'd drunk the whole thing which he'd filled with sugar. I still feel sick thinking about it." Imogene explained holding her stomach.
"You are evil Ianto Jones. I like it." Jack leered. Owen rolled his eyes.
"Not in the workplace boys."
"Remember boys. If you can't be good, be careful." Tosh grinned and went back to her work. Owen retreated into the med bay and Imogene turned her attention back to Harry Potter. Gwen came into the hub, late as usual and her gaze landed on the teenager who had her feet up on the couch and was wearing some of the clothes Tosh bought her yesterday when they went shopping. They didn't even invite her along. Gwen walked over and perched herself next to Imogene.
"Hey Imogene what are you reading?" Gwen asked.
"Something called a book," Imogene replied sarcastically.
"Very funny, so how are you coping?" Gwen asked.
"Fine, we Joneses have always been tough and enduring. Besides I think having Ianto around is a help. It means I've got somewhere to live and you all seem nice." Imogene replied.
"Yeah, it was a bit of a shock finding out about you. Then again Ianto likes to keep things to himself. He doesn't see that Jack's just using him." Gwen said spitefully. Imogene closed over the book and set it on her lap.
"What?" she asked.
"It's obvious Jack's just using Ianto. He's nothing more than the tea-boy. We all know that it's me that Jack's in love with. The only problem is that I have a boyfriend." Gwen said smugly.
"Listen to me Gwen Cooper. You can say what you want about me but if you ever insult my brother then you will regret it." Imogene said; her voice was low and deadly.
"I'm just telling you the truth. Like that Cyberwoman girlfriend of his that he hid in the basement. He's just sleeping with Jack so that Jack would forgive him and now he's only doing him because Ianto thinks that Jack cares for him. Jack would go for anything that has a brain." Gwen said smugly.
"Well that means he isn't interested in you then. And I'm warning you Gwen. Do not insult my brother." Imogene said getting to her feet.
"What are you going to do about it?" Gwen asked.
Imogene turned and looked at Tosh's desk, focusing on the large lever arch file sitting on the desk. The file flew off the desk and repeatedly hit Gwen on the head and chest. Her shrieks got the attention of everyone in the hub. Tosh pulled out her earphones, Owen looked up from the med bay, Ianto and Jack emerged from his office red in the face. Gwen was shielding her head from the attacks but Imogene kept her focus.
"I warned you Gwen. You do not under any circumstances insult my twin brother in front of me." Imogene said as she kept her gaze on the file.
"Imogene!" Jack yelled.
The yell startled Imogene who blinked and the file fell to the floor. Ianto ran over and put his arm around Imogene who was shaking slightly. Gwen was running her hands over her head and glaring at Imogene.
"That girl is a psychopath! She attacked me for no reason!" Gwen screeched looking at Jack.
"She was spreading lies about my brother!" Imogene shouted.
"I was not!" Gwen yelled.
"Yeah you were! You said that the only reason Ianto and Jack were together was because Jack was soooo in love with you but you couldn't be together because of your boyfriend and that the only reason they started being together was so Ianto could protect Lisa. Yes Gwen I do know her name! He told me all about what he did when eh came to Torchwood and do you know what? I don't judge him. What he did for Lisa shows what lengths my amazing twin brother would go to for someone he loved unlike you Gwen Elizabeth Cooper. I've been inside your head. If you love Rhys so much then why did you have an affair with Owen? Why are you pining after Jack like he's your one true love? Sorry sweetie, but he's taken so cry a river, build a bridge and get over it!" Imogene ranted. Gwen was silent. "Truth hurts, doesn't it Gwen?"
Gwen smacked Imogene in the face.
Jack grabbed Gwen by the arm and pulled her away from Imogene. "Gwen, go home and don't come back unless you've got a better attitude." Jack ordered, taking control.
"You should lock that girl up. She's mental!" Gwen demanded but paled as Imogene glared and the file rose into the air again. As the cog door rolled shut Owen and Tosh let out a cheer for Imogene who shrugged her shoulders. Owen and Tosh and Ianto began talking about what happened ad Jack headed up to his office. A few minutes later Imogene came into the office and sat down in one of the chairs in front of the desk.
"I feel that I need to know about who my brother is dating. So Captain Harkness, what are your intentions towards Ianto?" Imogene asked raising an eyebrow.
"I care about him a lot. We're completely different. He thinks about things when I don't. He's the calming influence while I'm usually the one causing trouble. He doesn't mind if I flirt or people flirt with me because that's as far as I would go with them. He's probably the most important person in my life and I would do anything to make him happy." Jack confessed.
"Have you told him that?" Imogene asked.
Jack shrugged. "He knows how I feel."
"You should tell him or at least prove it so that idiots like Gwen don't get the wrong idea." Imogene suggested.
"Maybe I will; if I knew how to." Jack replied.
"You'll work it out," Imogene smiled. "But I must warn you. If you break his heart then I'll break your neck."
